Union plans exhibition of Roten art collection
An exhibition featuring more than 1,000 original etchings, lithographs and woodcuts will be displayed from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday in the South Lounge of the Kansas Union.
Presented by Ferdinand Roten Galleries, Inc., Baltimore, Md., the works of such artists as Picasso, Miro, Goya, Chagall, Renoir and others will be on sale for $5 to $1.000.
The Student Union Activities Fine Arts Committee is the KU sponsor, said Jeff Lough, Salina junior and member of the committee.
Lough said a collection of Western and Oriental manuscript pages from works of the 13th to 20th centuries would also be displayed. A representative of the Roten Galleries, Lee Zellens, will be present to answer any questions about the exhibit.
For more than 36 years, Lough said, the Roten Galleries have sought to extend art education by introducing students to a variety of fine graphics. By selling originals at prices students can afford, Roten Galleries has been able to help students begin collections.

Last year Roten representatives visited more than 1,000 schools with one-day exhibitions and sales, Lough said. In addition, the Gallery sent more than 400 special exhibitions to art centers, museums and colleges all over the country.
The Roten graphics collection is now one of the largest in the country, he said.
Commemorative stamp given Abilene honors Eisenhower
ABILENE (UPI)—A commemorative stamp of Dwight D. Eisenhower was dedicated here Tuesday.
"I present this stamp to the people of the United States," said Postmaster Gen. Winton Blount, adding, "We have advanced little as a people if we do not find a moral lesson in the fact that the world's last great military captain was a man of peace."
Tuesday would have been Eisenhower's 79th birthday. A presidential wreath was laid on his tomb in the Place of Meditation Chapel where he was buried April 2.
"We are gathered here today to honor the birth of an American

who helped give shape, purpose and direction to the 20th Century," Blount said.
"The preservation of our national freedom is a part of the Eisenhower legacy as the preservation of the union is a part of the legacy of Abraham Lincoln."
The first stamp albums were presented to Docking, Sen. Bob Dole, former Sen. Frank Carlson and Gen. Lauris Norstad. Despite all of Eisenhower's achievements he was best remembered for "the simple virtues of this country," Norstad said.
Spectators, many stamp collectors, filled bleachers to witness the event. Gov. Robert B. Docking called it "a milestone in the history of the Eisenhower Center." A special sub-post office was also set up on the center grounds.
More than one-half million first-day cancellations, including mail orders, were predicted by Abilene Postmaster Henry Smith.
"I am grateful that his life touched mine."
